Recovery? WTF?

Toyota Tacoma Offroad Tries To Pull Out 1 Ton Diesel! #offroad #tacoma #stuckinmud

 

Not a kinetic rope, trying to use a kinetic type of recovery when that's no good in that situation, turd gen, probably had craptor lights...

 

jesus! Holy whiplash and lord knows what damage just happened

 

Yeet!

 

Always practice safe recovery techniques like this exemplary 4Runner driver:

And that 1 ton did nothing to help, no acceleration, nothing… dbag

 

Getting stuck happens... getting out is usually an art form of some type.

 

I'm so glad I don't wheel with dumb-fucks like this.

 

Exactamundo. Thank god these idiots didn't have a kinetic rope. You can see the amount of force generated when that non-stretchable rope/strap pulled tight and whipped that Tacoma around like a toy. The dude got a pretty good running start - and if he had a kinetic rope he would have stretched it out pretty good. But a lot of additional momentum/energy from the running start would have transferred into the rope when it stretched - and when it reached the limits of its stretchability it is likely one, or both, of those guys would have been very sorry. It looked like that 1 ton diesel was buried about up to its hubs. When the kinetic rope would have snapped back it would have been with greater force than the static tow rope/strap imparted when the Tacoma pulled it tight. I doubt it would have significantly moved the diesel - as TrailSpecial22 pointed out the driver of the diesel was doing nothing to help. When the static rope/strap pulls tight - the front wheels of the diesel aren't moving at all - so the guy was not trying to help/drive out during the pull. My guess is if this was done exactly as it was, but with a kinetic rope, either something on one of the trucks would have catastrophically failed - or that Tacoma would have gotten launched into the woods/brush to the left of the ditch. Maybe the initial jerk wouldn't have been so bad with the kinetic rope - but with the weight and "stuckness" of the diesel the Tacoma was not gonna be the hammer in this situation - he's the nail.

Can't tell from the video - but surely the Taco would have tried a more gentle pull first? If the Taco driver's thinking was "what the hell, balls to the wall on the first try" - he's in for a tough life.

 

In the not so grainy video with the Tacoma, The 1 ton is actually spinning tires while the Tacoma did whatever that was

 

Watching it 5 times, it looks like a 1 second spin if that and then nothing. Gotta give it gas all the way until youre out, even with that violent snap back
